joey the cat

Two years ago, I found this cat in our backyard, scared and starving. He had been abandoned by someone, and was desperate to belong again. I was unable to adopt him, although I fed him every day (and fell in love with him,) because Truffle, our in-house Queen cat, was unreceptive to the idea. (Read that puffed up, hissing, and hostile beyond belief.)

Our neighbors adopted him and named him Joey. When they go away, I get to take care of him. These pictures are from our latest illicit tryst, upstairs.

When I was feeding him in the backyard, he followed me home one day and into the apartment. Truffle puffed herself up to about three times her normal size and hissed viciously at him. He flew down the stairs and over the fence and refused to speak to me for several days, despite my apologies.
